Because we need the info!!
Today’s installment is about extending the usefulness of our rollover Tooltips. Specifically, how to customize them so they show us exactly the information we are looking for.
For example, when hovering over a Block object, the Tooltip shows us the Color, Layer and Linetype currently assigned to the Block. While these are helpful, showing the Block's name could also be very beneficial.
When hovering over a Viewport, the Tooltip shows us the Color, Layer and Linetype currently assigned to the Viewport. Wouldn’t it be great if the Tooltip also reported the Viewport's Plot Scale and Lock status?
The great news is rollover Tooltips can be easily customized to show these kinds of information and more. Additionally, they are not limited to only AutoCAD objects. Any of our Civil 3D objects that support rollover Tooltips can be quickly customized to display additional or alternate information.
